08:47 asimon The ou entry screen does not accept an email address with a hyphen,  Is this a bug, or is there a special way of entering an email address with a hyphen?  Escaping the hyphen with a backslash does not work, nor does enclosing the email address in quotes.

09:13 Dyrcona Well, the 2.6 upgrade sucks. Plan on all the reingest causing problems and taking hours.
09:14 Dyrcona Ours hasn't finished. I had to stop the reingest runs as it was interfering with everything that touches bibs.
09:15 Dyrcona I swear it never took that long in training or development, but those databases aren't as busy even if they are on a wimpier server.
09:16 Dyrcona Well, that's my complaint of the morning. I'll be back later for more complaining, I'm sure. ;)
09:16 tspindler joined #evergreen
09:24 mrpeters anyone replicating multiple Evergreen *databases* with slony, using the same nodes (database servers)?  I thought unique set/table id's would do the job, but it looks like the table name can't exist in multiple sets.   anyone run into this?  (<stdin>:15: PGRES_FATAL_ERROR lock table "_replication".sl_config_lock;select "_replication".setAddTable(2, 2, 'acq.acq_lineitem_history', 'acq_lineitem_history_pkey', 'Table acq.acq_lineit

09:56 jane_1 does anyone here have a link regarding autogen.sh -u how to troubleshoot this?
10:00 jl- jane_1: what's error are you getting? in the past I had to reboot the server entirely when it wouldn't autogen
10:02 jane_1 Not connected on the network
10:02 jane_1 sorry not connected to the network
10:02 jl- yeah, try rebooting it
10:03 jl- and then start it like this
10:03 jl- http://docs.evergreen-ils.org​/2.3/_starting_evergreen.html
10:03 jl- or try ./autogen.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -u
10:03 jl- first
10:07 jane_1 may apache status [FAIL]
10:09 jl- did you reboot? and then startup as described in the link?
10:09 jl- http://docs.evergreen-ils.org​/2.3/_starting_evergreen.html
10:10 jane_1 nope...
10:11 jl- try that
10:12 jane_1 rebooting

10:20 jane_1 How to edit the sample website of evergreen sorry I am new in Linux... totally new
10:21 jane_1 If I want to customize the website of evergreen...
10:21 jane_1 how?
10:27 jl- customizations should be done in this css mostly
10:28 jl- http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?​id=evergreen-admin:customizations:opac
10:33 kmlussier joined #evergreen
10:33 jane_1 I just want to remove the LINK 1 ~ LINK 5 on the bottom and top... and replace the logo of Evevgreen on the top
10:33 jane_1 I like the color green
10:34 kmlussier jane_1: http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.6/_d​esigning_your_catalog.html#_media_fi​le_locations_in_the_public_interface has that info.
10:35 mrpeters for the logs -- multiple config files, with unique node id's/names and specifying --config is the way to replicate multiple DB's -- just modify the name of the "replication" schema in slon_tools.conf to something unique.
10:35 jane_1 I use gedit and get me error on public OPAC.
10:35 jane_1 500: Internal Server Error
10:36 jl- you didn't start it up?
10:36 jane_1 I just edit the header and the footer.tt2
10:36 jane_1 I erase the <a href="http://example.com">[% l('Link 1') %]</a>             <a href="http://example.com">[% l('Link 2') %]</a>             <a href="http://example.com">[% l('Link 3') %]</a>             <a href="http://example.com">[% l('Link 4') %]</a>             <a href="http://example.com">[% l('Link 5') %]</a>
10:37 jane_1 I use gedit to edit the footer and the header...
10:39 kmlussier ericar: What is the language you were putting on wiki pages with outdated content?
10:40 ericar kmlussier: I think the web team decided to keep it a bit open ended so I've been using "This Page May Need Updating or Revising"
10:40 kmlussier ericar++ Thanks!

10:53 kmlussier jane_1: In looking at the files on my server, you should be editing opac/parts/topnav_links.tt2 for the links in the header.
10:54 jane_1 I edit it... but it gives me 500: Internal Server Error. I tried to reboot but still it exist..
10:54 jane_1 before logging in Evergreen in STATUS: 500: Internal Server Error
10:55 kmlussier jane_1: Or, better yet, create a local templates directory, copy the topnav_links.tt2 file over there, and make your edits. You would need to follow the instructions at http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.6/_designing​_your_catalog.html#_configuring_the_custom_t​emplates_directory_in_apache_8217_s_eg_conf
10:55 Dyrcona jane_1: You broke something. Check the Apache error log on your server.
10:55 jane_1 that link I was following and I don't know what part I make mistake
10:56 jane_1 in Evergreen?
10:56 jane_1 anyway I use 12.04 ubuntu and Evergreen 2.5.4
11:03 kmlussier jane_1: Did you have a chance to look at the apache logs as Dyrcona suggested?
11:07 vlewis joined #evergreen
11:07 jane_1 yes I see the error and I am trying to fix it.. the opac was back but my problem now is the HOLD in website, after I confirm the sample hold items it's stock..
11:07 jane_1 sorry for bad english..
11:09 jane_1 do you know guys what is theme manager? how to use this?
11:15 kmlussier jane_1: We don't use themes in Evergreen anymore. The content on that wiki page is a bit outdated.
11:16 * kmlussier added a warning this morning, but is tempted to delete the page.
11:21 jane_1 in the tutorial of "http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.6/_designing​_your_catalog.html#_configuring_the_custom_t​emplates_directory_in_apache_8217_s_eg_conf"
11:22 jane_1 I can't see the link of header.tt2
11:22 jane_1 I can't found
11:22 jane_1 if i use gedit to edit it. is it ok?
11:23 jane_1 sorry wrong links "http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.6/_designing​_your_catalog.html#_configuring_the_custom_t​emplates_directory_in_apache_8217_s_eg_conf"
11:23 kmlussier jane_1: What the docs there are showing you is how to create a custom directory in place of the stock templates directory and teach apache how to look at that template directory for local customizations.
11:24 kmlussier jane_1:  You then need to copy over any files from the templates directory that you want to customize locally.
11:25 kmlussier jane_1: But, as I mentioned above, I don't think you want to edit the header.tt2 file to change those links. From what I can tell looking at my own files, you want to edit opac/parts/topnav_links.tt2.
11:27 jane_1 is it ok to remove those links in footer.tt2 abd topnav? I mean I will just delete the code Link 1 ~ Link 5 so when I open evergreen I won't see those link again.
11:30 kmlussier jane_1: I don't know. I've never tried removing them, just changing them. Somebody else in here might know if the catalog expects a link to be there.
11:31 jane_1 then do you know how to visible = false this links?
11:37 kmlussier jane_1: There is a .hide_me and .hidden css class that you might be able to use.
11:50 mrpeters left #evergreen
11:51 frank_____ hi all, does someone know which scripts do I have tu run tu restore the hold's tables?
12:00 Dyrcona frank_____: Start by looking in Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/090.schema.action.sql
12:09 jane_1 Guys it work thank you so much KM... I wish I worked in evergreen too so that I can help others...
12:09 kmlussier jane_1: Glad it worked out for you. :)
12:10 jane_1 yea... I can now easily link some links now. :) I am now ready for demo 2morrow... anyway I'm asian..

13:09 sseng Question: can entries exists in metabib.browse_entry that does not link to a bib via metabib.browse_entry_def_map or that doesn't link to an authority record via metabib.browse_entry_simple_heading_map?
13:12 hbrennan joined #evergreen
13:19 eeevil sseng: yes, they can exist
13:22 sseng eeevil: oh ok. then, how does one trace where it comes from? ( assuming can only trace to origin via the browse_entry_def_map or browse_entry_simple_heading_map)
13:22 eeevil sseng: in practice, the percentage of that table that's "junk" should be very small, and the cost to keep it perfectly trimmed is too high to pay during record ingest.  a out-of-band cleanup would be very simple if you're really in a situation where a significant portion of the the data is orphaned, though
13:23 Shae_ joined #evergreen
13:23 eeevil sseng: you don't trace where it comes from. it's a table full of unique strings. other things point at the IDs and say "I use that"
13:24 eeevil think of it as a fact table in a BI-style schema
13:25 eeevil er, sorry dimension table
13:25 eeevil and the browse_entry_def_map and browse_entry_simple_heading_map are fact tables
13:26 Shae joined #evergreen
13:27 sseng eeevil: oh ok. by tracing i was thinking more of what bib record or what authority record created the entries in browse_entry (from looking at  browse_entry_def_map and browse_entry_simple_heading_map)
13:28 eeevil I understand. which created the row isn't a question that those tables can answer -- the first inserter isn't important to the role of the data, IOW
13:33 sseng eeevil: i see. (srry, fixated on where the browse_entry came from). from what you mentiond earlier, I undertand  it is safe to delete "orphaned" entries in the browse_entry table. thanks for your help!!
13:33 eeevil sseng: np, and it is totally safe
13:38 jl- I'm nearing the 1 million bib mark, any ideas when the db gets too big for good performance?
13:38 jl- single server 4GB Ram, 1 core
13:44 Dyrcona jl-: You're running everything on that one server?
13:46 Dyrcona Anyway, I definitely would not use something that small for production.
13:46 jl- Dyrcona: currently yes
13:46 montgoc1 joined #evergreen
13:47 jl- I can up the ram and give it more cores
13:47 jl- splitting up into 2-3 servers is also optional
13:47 jl- whichever makes the most sense
13:48 Dyrcona jl-: I'd definitetly put the database on its own server, preferably not virtualized, with SSD storage.
13:48 Dyrcona For production, anywya.
13:49 jl- Dyrcona: well I can use the existing DB and point a new server at it?
13:50 Dyrcona On a development system, with very few people using, I tend to see out of memory issues and drones getting killed with just 4GB of RAM, when more than a couple of people use it at once.
13:51 Dyrcona It's really hard to say what you need without knowing what your typical work load is, but I know you have a consortium of academic libraries.
13:51 jl- right, it's still just a demo though, but ideally it would be a realistic demo
13:52 jl- and I'm going to hand out logins for the staff client soon for staff to experiment
13:52 jl- maybe I'll get away with upping the ram and cores for now
13:53 Dyrcona We have approximately 1 million bibs, and we have 6GB and 6 cores configured on our training VM.
13:54 jl- how does it run?
13:54 Dyrcona We also have a separate database server for our training, test, and a development database, so we don't run postgres on the training vm.
13:54 Dyrcona slower than production, but generally acceptable for the use that it gets.
13:55 jl- is there a multi server tutorial? the official one is for all-in-one
13:55 Dyrcona In production, you ideally want a database server with more than enough RAM to load your whole database at once.
13:56 jl- geesh
13:58 Dyrcona Note that I said "ideally," and it goes for any postgresql setup.
14:04 Dyrcona jl-: There is some information on the wiki about setting up "bricks" as they are called.
14:05 * dbs wonders how much SSD mitigates the RAM requirements for acceptable performance
14:06 dbs Obviously, tons of RAM is always better, but SSD is still wayyy faster than spinning rust
14:07 * Dyrcona uses spinning rust, but at least has configured RAID 1/0 of 140GB platters, for "better" performance.
14:08 Dyrcona We have considered replacing the disks with SSDs but may wait until we get a new server.
14:12 jl- we only have ssd
14:13 jl- which is why I'll just ask for more ram and cores for now
14:14 Dyrcona you should be all right for demo purposes.
14:16 Dyrcona We have 9 people using our training server at this very minute and it is holding up.
14:16 Dyrcona Acquisitions training, fwiw.
14:19 jl- nice
14:23 Dyrcona jl-: http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/d​oku.php?id=redhat_evergreen_cluster tells how to setup an Evergreen cluster with RedHat. I'm not sure how up to date this is. It looks pretty old to me.
14:25 Dyrcona Searching for brick or cluster doesn't turn up much else of any use.
14:29 jl- thanks
14:30 jl- we're running eg on debian but the config files are probably in the same place
14:35 Dyrcona jl-: You may want to check the documentation on evergreen-ils.org. There may be something there that isn't in the wiki.
14:38 Dyrcona jl-: Yeah, the Evergreen stuff isn't that different. It's mostly the prerequisite installation and configuration that changes.

16:29 Bmagic In order for a hold to be targeted by the hold targeter, does the item need to be checked in at it's home library? Or can it be checked in at any branch and then get targeted for the next hold BEFORE it's routed to it's home branch?
16:41 tsbere Bmagic: The latter
16:43 Bmagic tsbere: does FIFO override that behavior? We are seeing branches inside the same system having to route the item back to home branch before it targets the hold back at the other branch again
16:46 tspindler left #evergreen
16:49 mmorgan Bmagic: I'm not an expert, but I don't think FIFO would do that. Maybe age protection? Or a hold policy that limits transit range?
16:52 tsbere Bmagic: Perhaps the holds were placed while the items were in transit?
16:52 tsbere Or un-suspended during that period, maybe
16:52 Bmagic tsbere: That is what I am starting to think
